And THEY make fun of Canada’s fake-London?
North americans just realy like European cities for some reason. Even most small european cities exist somewhere over there too.
It’s almost like it was settled by Europeans
yeah lol it’s not so much that North Americans like European cities as it is that the Europeans who came here liked European cities
(Though, I suppose, not enough to keep living in those European cities lol)
Yeah there was this news story a long time ago of 2 girls that were stuck on an elevator in Lisbon (Portugal). Apparently they looked up some number on their phones for Lisbon but since they were from the US it suggested some random city named Lisbon there. They spent a lot of time trying to explain where the elevator was located until they realised it wasn’t the same Lisbon.
(I think it’s a true story. Might just be an urban legend from Lisbon I guess 🤷♂️)
I wouldn’t be terribly surprised. I grew up in Geneva, but I lived in Oviedo when I was in high school.
I’ve lived in central Florida my entire life.
When I was starting at a new job I mentioned that I grew up in Geneva. The person I was chatting with were curious and asked what it was like growing up in Europe. I responded that if I was raised in Europe I’d never live in Florida. Geneva, FL is a fucking armpit.
i also thought you moved to FL to start a job
I couldn’t imagine. I very much want to leave.
Because the cities are named by European immigrants naming places after their home towns. It not very original but I guess its better than naming it after yourself
I live 3,000 km from where I grew up, and sometimes it blows my mind that if I step out to my street and touch the asphalt, I’m touching the same continuous structure that’s connecting to my parents home in a seperate country, on the other side of the continent.

This meme was devised by a clever person, that kind of stuff doesn’t belong here!
Are The Roads in The Villages? It would make sense, since those are The Only Places…
Migratory path of all Floridaman species.

There’s a road from Florida to the Bahamas?
No, and the map doesn’t show that either
